Before I share the recipe below, I’ll answer some frequently asked questions about my cocktail. If you have any more questions, leave them in the comments.

What type of wine is best for a strawberry cocktail?

You can use any red wine you have on hand, but the Cabernet tasted great with the strawberries. Since you are adding sparkling water and strawberries, I’d go with a dryer wine. If you choose a really sweet dessert wine, you might be surprised at how sweet it becomes with the added fruit.

What makes a drink a cocktail?

Recently, it’s become pretty common to refer to any mixed alcoholic drink as a cocktail. That matches up pretty well with what the dictionary defines it as too. “an iced drink of wine or distilled liquor mixed with flavoring ingredients.”

Some people say it has to have at least 3 ingredients. Others think it should only refer to mixed drinks that contain hard liquor.

What alcohol can you put in a Strawberry Cocktail?

There are a lot of different versions of strawberry cocktails out there. Some of the most popular liquors to mix for cocktails include:
